Consistent routines beat perfect days. Aim for regular meals, medication timing, and glucose checks that fit your real life.
Know your personal targets with your clinician. General ranges are guides — your plan may differ.
Always carry a rapid sugar source if you use insulin or medicines that can cause low blood sugar.
Check feet daily for cuts, blisters, or colour changes. Diabetes can reduce sensation, so small issues become big ones quietly.
Stay stocked on strips and supplies. Running out mid-week is stressful and avoidable — we can set supply reminders.
On sick days, never stop diabetes medication without guidance. Illness can raise glucose unexpectedly.
Ask us about meter technique, injection sites, or new devices anytime. Technology only helps when it is used correctly.
